The Boss is back: Iconic Ford Mustang reborn

WITH VIDEO--Soon to be thundering down an open road near you is the resurrected Ford Mustang Boss 302. Based on the 5.0-liter Mustang GT, the 2012 version of the muscle-car classic was revealed on Friday at Laguna Seca, where Parnelli Jones won the 1970 Trans-Am season opener in a Boss 302. The new Mustang builds on the iconic Bosses famous for their looks and performance in the late '60s and early '70s.

Hennessey Venom GT hits 265.7mph for new world top speed record (+ video)

The Hennessey Venom GT – an American, Lotus Elise-based supercar – has clocked 265.7mph for a new world record top speed for a production car. The world top speed record for a production car has been held by the Bugatti Veyron (well, the Veyron Super Sport) at 258mph, but that’s a ‘limited’ speed for its production cars. The Veyron Super Sport actually hit 267.81mph at VW’s Ehra-Lessian track (it actually hit 269.8mph one way) but because production cars are limited to 258mph the higher speed doesn’t count.
